Am I a Criminal?

July 21, 2007

I’m up here at my Mum and Dad’s at the moment, and I think it’s fair to say that they’re not the most technologically advanced.

In other words, they don’t have an internet connection. They don’t even know what t’internet is.

So I fire up my airport connection to see if there are any hotspots around. Nope. But my Macbook tells me I can connect to a 3com network (the other one – a Netgear wireless connection needed a WEP key).

It’s a surprise that there are so many unsecured wireless networks. I popped up to my sisters the other day – she told me her next door neighbour had had an open connection for months!

nah, this is the joy of uncapped internet plans! too frightening to do it in nz purely because you (or whoever is tapping your connection) would use up your data limit 🙂 if it’s not impacting the person whose account it is, then why not!?
